In advance, make a book for scratch and sniff pictures. Draw pictures of fruit on pieces of paper. These will become the pages of the book. Print the name of the fruit on each page. Make a book cover that reads "God gives us good food."

Add 1 or 2 Tbsp. of water to a small package of powdered fruit drink mix. Lead preschoolers to paint with the appropriate fruit drink mixture to make fruits that actually smell like the picture they are painting. When the pictures are dry, show them how to scratch them with their fingernails to smell the fruit. Read the book together.

Children stand in a line. As you play some children's gospel music, the first child in the line leads the others around the room. When you stop the music, children freeze in place. Call out the name of an animal. Repeat the game as time allows, iviting new volunteers to lead others around the room and calling out different animal names.
